David was amazing for our anniversary party. The guests were raving about him from the cocktail through the after party. I don't remember the bar back name but he and David made a great team. The drinks...OMG!!! We had a drink menu but also gave him creative liberty and he did not disappoint. He is definitely my go to bartender. David cannot be beat... PERIOD!!

Incredible experience that made the night memorable. Professional, attentive and drinks were amazing! This was my first experience hiring a private bartender and I for sure will be doing so again for my next event!

This was my first time hiring through Thumbtack, and it was a great experience. I was planning a medium-sized birthday party and wanted a bartender so I could focus on our guests rather than mixing drinks. AD Private Bartending responded first. Kristopher was very professional, and we reviewed four package options over the phone. Since it was a Saturday, there was a four-hour minimum, which worked perfectly. We paid for the bartender, plus an additional fee for garnishes, ice, and supplies—so all we had to buy was the liquor. We chose mojitos, sangria, margaritas, and mimosas as our signature drinks. We also bought additional alcohol for basic drinks that AD Private served without mixing, like whiskey on the rocks or Long Island iced tea. We signed a contract (check your spam folder!), and the payment process was smooth, done in two installments. Kristopher and a trainee arrived 20 minutes early to set up, which was great. They were professionally dressed, polite, and full of upbeat energy. Our guests loved them—it made the party feel special. Everyone felt well taken care of while my husband and I mingled. We had three kids at the party, and Kristopher made them non-alcoholic drinks, which was a thoughtful touch. They also cleaned the bar area before leaving. It was an amazing experience, and I would definitely hire them again. Totally worth it!

We had a wedding, where we hired two servers and a bartender. Everything turned out amazing. So much stress was alleviated and we were in great hands. We received sooo many compliments on the bartender and service from the servers. The three of them went above and beyond to be so helpful. I would happily hire AD again and recommend them to anyone in need of a bartender or servers. So happy I found them!

We hired AD for help serving our signature desserts during a festival, and I can't express how great of a job they did! From the initial quote process to the closeout of the service, everything was handled professionally. Kris and his wife are great people, and easy to work with. I have no doubt that I will reach out again if we need help with service, as everything was above and beyond. Great job AD team, keep up the great work! We appreciate the value and energy you bring with your service! We look forward to future collaborations. - OUI Macarons and Gelato

My experience with AD private bartending was perfect from start to finish. They were very responsive in locking in their services and reasonably priced. On the day of the event, they arrived on time and with all of the agreed upon supplies and garnishes. They were extremely nice and professional with our guests and every attendee complimented their service. I’d absolutely use AD Private Bartending again. So much so, that I can’t wait to host another event just to have them bartend again. Top notch customer service!!
